@madmnc: Of course there will be situations where fear is showing us red flags but there are also moments where fear is trying to keep us in what we are used to, even if what we are used to isn’t what we want or causes us pain. It’s important to practice sitting with hard truths so we can use our self awareness to know the difference between fear showing red flags and fear holding us back. It’s a tricky path to navigate, know you’re not alone 🙏❤️🩹💕 #neverbeeninlove #chronicallysingle #single #singleness #longtermsingle
I’m in that place right now. 42 but I’ve never been in a long term relationship. I don’t even know what I’d talk about.

Lunae🌙 :
I've been alone for so long, it's got to a point where I can no longer imagine myself ever finding love. I don't even have the energy to put myself out there. I don't even find people attractive anymore. I haven't had a crush on anyone in 6 years. which is great in a way because I tend to become obsessive when I have a crush

Philip :
Go down the path of friendship first. Don't look at it as finding a relationship, and don't labour or put pressure on finding someone to be intimate or romantic with. Starting with just wanting to be friends with someone first might sound strange. However, if you start with a friendship, you can test yourself within that bond—meaning you can gauge how much further you actually want to take things to the next level. You can do this without telling the other person because, if you do still feel those fears, at least you will still have the friendship. If that makes sense.

I didn’t deal with lifelong singleness but I was single for 4 years. I”ve been dating someone for 8-9 months and I’m constantly wanting to quit even though I know he’s right for me. But that desire for safety is so intense.

This is so relatable! I’m 35 and recently began my first serious relationship in 15 years. But this man is everything I hoped and prayed for. It’s nerve wracking. But I’m just taking it one step at a time, one moment at a time.

Not quite the same, but I feel more at peace since I’ve stopped trying to use the dating apps. It’s easier to be alone rather than to be ghosted, or have breadcrumbs and then be ghosted.

This is so true! I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop after I met my husband. I had to talk myself off the ledge multiple times. Had to make myself not run away.

I’ve had so many failed relationships. I’m very insecure. My father has rejected me my whole life. Really hard to rise above the insecurity. Too many hurts.

I feel this! I’ve been single longer than I’ve been in a relationship. Spend the majority of my 20s and early 30s single. . My current relationship has been the longest and we are getting married.

From where I stand, I would say Sam is ideal for you…the reason being is one of him seeing you, understanding you, and accepting you because of you being candid and open with him … and in all honesty, he needs you too…someone who sees him,understands and accepts…this is respectful love…perhaps being more mature gives you both the wisdom to see that in each other 🌷
